Owl Power Animal

     In Shamanism, it is believed that all wild animals' spirits have the power to aid and heal us along our life journey, including the owl. They are known as "power animals" and the belief is that everyone has one primary, or totem one; the one they are most often drawn to, and others that come and go based on your needs, as well, as for playing the role of messengers. This is very much like the Christian beliefs of guardian angels. 

     Each power animal has their own unique characteristics and message to provide us with guidance and healing.  Our totem animal also reflects our own character, and are there to help us grow as an individual. The cool thing is you can actually ask your power animals questions by mediating on them. The answers would be revealed at that time, or later as you go your through your daily life; often by other unexpected power animals showing up in your life with their own specific messages.

What is your Power Animal? 

     If you are very drawn to owls, almost to the exclusion of other wild animals, than you may certainly have an owl as your totem animal. But, then, it may also be that the owl is a power animal for the moment, here to provide you with some life challenge guidance. How long a power animal remains in your life all depends on the individual. It can be a few days or several years. 

Owl Symbolism:        

- A major upcoming change or life transition.  
- The ability to see past deceit and illusions (what is untrue). 
- Wisdom 
- Strong intuition. 
- Enthusiast for the unknown. 
  
The owl is a great power animal to call forth when you are in a state of confusion or suspicion, or for help to discover your hidden potential and talents.

Summer Owling

A great summer vacation idea for owl enthusiasts is to go Owling, finding and sighting owls. With young owls out about trying out their wings from branch to branch, summer is the perfect time to do this. But you will need to be prepared and know where to go. 

1) First thing first: obtain a field guide to determine where to go and what owl species are in that area. Knowing which birds are in the area can aid you with where and how to locate them by their habits and behaviors. 

2) You may also want to study the owls' calls to further aid your search. 

Owls Sounds

There also are many places on the Internet that can help you here, including YouTube .

3) Have the right equipment, meaning a pair of binoculars, the more powerful, the better. Also, dress as to not draw attention to yourself, such as dark clothes and nothing shiny. You can bring a backpack, but make sure their is nothing clinking and clanking when you move.

4) You may, of course, want to bring a long lens camera and a journal or notebook to enjoy and record your great owl adventure. But, again, keep it quite. Owls can hear for miles. 

Some wildlife refuges and other local park organizations provide guided owl walks. You may want to check your area for these as an alternative to going on your own. 

 Nevertheless, whether you're going owling or on another great outdoor trek, you'll want

to be well equipped.

Owls At Weddings

 There is a company in the UK that trains Barn Owls to be ring-bearers at wedding ceremonies. The owl swoop over the guest to deliver the rings attached to their feet by tassels. How original is that!? I love the idea and I don't think its any hardship on the birds, except, I guess, for one named Darcy. 

Darcy made the news last year for sleeping on the job, literally. See, poor Darcy was very tired and just couldn't hold out while waiting for his cue. He finally woke up, but it seemed that he decided it was too late anyway, despite the Reverend's attempt to coax him down from the high church rafters. After an hour of trying, the Reverend gave up and used a pair of backup rings. The tired owl finally flew down to his handler when he arrived.

 That is one wedding I'm sure the couple and attendees will never forget! Owls, they can be so funny, ....or so I say since I wasn't there.

I'm sure this was a rare and only occurrence. At least I haven't heard anymore news about an owl sleeping on the job.   

Take a look are how its suppose to go. It really could make for a magical wedding.

But if you can't have an owl-bearing ring wedding, you can still have a magical wedding with an owl themed collection by Noteable Expressions

Dad Owls Rock !

The father of many animals species do not bother with the upbringing of their young, but dad owls do, and that's why they rock! 

Daddy owls spend much of their time flying back and forth to the nest with food, sometimes as often as 10 times a day after the hatching. They also stay and look over the owlets while mama owl is out hunting herself.       

I say, Hootray for Daddy Owls!   

and... Hooray for Human Dads, too! 

Happy Father's Day !
